Sensabaugh drawing interest in free agency

Citing a conversation with his agent, the Dallas Morning News reports that Cowboys S Gerald Sensabaugh has “received interest from three or four teams.”

No visits, though, have been set up. The Cowboys placed the second-round tender on the restricted free agent, meaning they would receive a second-round draft pick as compensation should he sign with another club.

Sensabaugh wants a long-term deal from Dallas, and I think he’s earned it. Starting 15 games last season, he logged 81 tackles, 10 pass deflections and one interception. But those numbers don’t reflect his full impact. He proved himself as a big hitter, a fierce competitor and a tough guy, playing much of the season with a case on his left hand after breaking a thumb early in the season against Denver.

Of course, Sensabaugh didn’t help himself by giving up a long TD pass to Sidney Rice in the NFC Divisional playoff game at Minnesota. That early score propelled the Vikings to a 34-3 romp.
